For compute power, the architecture offers multiple servers, including the PowerEdge R750 server, which is an all-in-one building block for Spark, machine learning, deep learning training and inferencing. The architecture also provides higher density options like the PowerEdge XE8545 server, which is well suited for large-scale HPC simulation workloads, machine learning training, deep learning training, and inferencing. Each server offers unique features that make it viable based on the customer use case.
The architecture is defined by node types: management, compute, high-performance acceleration, and dense acceleration, as described in the following table:
